    Unfortunately, Yoself wouldn’t even consider it. “In that case, we’ll proceed with audio onlyb,/b” Yosef said calmly. He extracted the video file, made a few quick adjustments, and set it to y only the baudio/b. bAimee’s /bmanding voice resounded clearly in everyone’s ears.

    Skr was still anxious that Yosef might recognize her voice.

    voice?‘

    Skr leaned casually against the railing at the back, quietly absorbing the scene. The crowd fell into stunned silence as Aimee’s threatening words echoed through the air. Only the haunting sound of Aimee’s

    screams remained.

    Aimee eximed, “That’s not what happened! That bitch forced me–if it weren’t for her, I would never have done this!” She pleaded, “You all have to believe me! She set me up on purpose!”

    The truth was revealed for all to see. As they listened to her desperate pleas, the people present looked on with expressions ofplete disgust, as if they had just swallowed something revolting.

    Yosef stopped the yback. “Now that the truth is clear to everyone, shouldn’t you apologize to the person you have wronged and offended?”

    Admitting their mistakes, they took turns apologizing to Skr. “Sorry,” they said, with apologies pouring

    out one after another.

    Skr didn’t me them; they had been manipted and misled. The true instigator was the one who set everything in motion. “Mr and Miss Castillo, after you falsely used me like this, don’t you have anything

    to say?”

    At that moment, Juelz realized he could no longer protect Aimee. ‘What does a girl’s reputation matter,

    anyway?‘ he thought coldly. However, as the heir to the Castillo family, he could not afford a single misstep. ‘In the end, everyone looks out for themselves,‘ Juelz thought grimly.

    Faced with the situation, Juelz chose to distance himself entirely from it. As for Aimee, he reassured himself

    that he would make it up to her someday–or at least he imed he would. “When I arrived and saw my sister crying on the ground, I couldn’t help but fear the worst. I want to apologize once more–I’m genuinely

    sorry.

    “She behaved this way because she’s still young andcks experience, though I must confess, our family has certainly indulged her too much I will ensure she receives proper discipline when we return home,” he said sincerely. “Please consider allowing her to make amends.”

    “Juelz!” Aimee eximed, her voice filled with indignation. “How could you apologize to her? bAnd now /b

    Juelz pulled her up abruptly

    hissed.

    Aimee was on the verge of throwing a tantrum when she encountered Juelz’s cold, piercing gaze. Immediately silenced, she lowered her head as silent tears began to stream down her face.

    Skr said coldly, “Save your apologies; they mean nothing to me. You should keep your sister in line band /bensure she doesn’tsh out at people again,” Skr warned coolly. “Otherwise, she might not be so lucky next time.”

    Aimee was on the brink of exploding, but Juelz’s icy re immediately silenced her. Bitterness welled bup /bbin /bher as she bit her trembling lip, tears str her as she bit her trembling lip, tears streaming down her face in torrents.

    Juelz forced a smile. “Absolutely,” he replied ndly. The harsh words directed at Aimee cut deep, but Juelz understood that this was not the right moment to let his emotions take over. They had to endure.

    Juelz said, “My sister is still not feeling well. Let me take her to get checked out first, and then we’lle backter to offer you a formal apology.” With that, Juelz took Aimee and led her away.

    After the matter was settled, the crowd dispersed as if nothing had urred, effortlessly resuming their conversations and mingling. The room quickly returned to its usual vibrant chatter.

    With everyone else gone, only Yosef and Skr remained. Suddenly, Yosef turned to her and asked, “Are you Sue?”

    Goosebumps ran across Skr’s skin, thinking, ‘Why is he asking that? Did he find out something about

    me?‘
